🏞️ Calgary's Two Parks: Which Rules Your World? 🤔

First glance at Calgary’s map? Two parks steal the show: Nose Hill Park and Fish Creek Park! Let’s dive in… 1️⃣ Nose Hill Park: Northwest Calgary’s gem, Canada’s 4th-largest urban park! Born in 1980, it sprawls over 11 km² with 12 neighborhoods hugging its edges. Gates open at 5 AM to 11 PM daily. Trails for walks? Check. Leash-free zones for pups? 🐾🐶 Absolutely! Fun fact: The name’s origin? Legend says a European explorer asked a translator about a distant hill. Reply: “Nose Hill—it looks like our chief’s nose from here!” 👃🏔️ 2️⃣ Fish Creek Park: South Calgary’s pride, Canada’s 2nd-largest urban park! Opened in 1975, it’s bordered by city on three sides and Tsuu T’ina First Nation lands on the west. East and south hide a man-made lake—perfect for a dip! 🏊💦 Wildlife lovers? Birdwatchers? This is YOUR spot! 🦉🦌🐦 And the name? From the creek flowing east through the park to the Bow River. 🌊🎣 So… Nose Hill or Fish Creek? Which park’s your #1? 💖 #CalgaryLife #NatureLovers #HikingAdventures #CityScapes
